    Yep I assumed 90 minutes. I can see no reason at all for putting "full set" and giving Eddie equal billing as The Who with regards to placement on this poster, if all he got was 1 hour.

    I think everyone is used to a band and solo artist that put on marathon shows. I assumed the whole time a full set would equal one hour.

    Most co-headlining tours of bands has them preforming right around the 60 min mark each.

    I know Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind are doing a co-headlining tour and they each get an hour , again not comparing musically but I think anyone whom thought that they were getting a 2 hour show or longer was out of their mind.

    Man so big headliners only play for 70-80 mins total. 

    Just think if you went to see PJ and the opening band played for 3 hours , everyone would lose their damn minds, that said hope everyone had an amazing time if they caught this or any other shows of this tour.

    I haven‘t been there but wanted to chip in my opinion: Full set imho is not a fixed set length. It depends on the artist. I‘d expect different from a full set by Pearl Jam than say RHCP.

    So 60 min by Eddie -for me- is not a full set.

    I have not seen those posters or in fact not the detail, which said “Full set”. If I would have read that in advance I would have had the expectation to see an Eddie show of at least 90min! Because I didn’t, it was ok for me. In my opinion it’s definitely not fair to announce an Eddie Vedder show with full set and than he plays for 60min, when he usually plays 140min. That is very bad marketing!
    By the way...Of course I loved his set much more than that Who concert....I didn’t have the feeling that they really got the crowd like Eddie always does, alone or with PJ.

    I don't have a dog in this fight but "full set" surely would be at least 90 minutes.  Not sure why they would have billed it that way.

    I thought a full set would mean 90 minutes but to be truthful, I bought my tickets on the day they went on sale as I was happy to see both on the same bill.  I think it was the result of poor ticket sales that led to the promotion coming weeks after tickets went on sale saying full set and also the underground posters.
    A bit naughty really, as that maybe convinced EV fans who were wavering to take the plunge and buy tickets....
    It seems very much at odds with anything I've ever seen before but then again , by the letter of the law, full set didn't say 90 minutes so it could have meant 60 minutes.... Good old live nation....

    This!

    What Live Nation considers a full set , may not be what us rabid PJ / EV fans feel is a full set.

    Oh believe me they know......they know a 'full set' is not a 1 hour set.

    Are you actually surprised? Ed could have played three Songs and people would somehow defend it.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I guess we're all witnessing what promoters will do to sell tickets.
    Opening act= 5-7 songs
    Full set= 10+ songs

    Did it ever say .  'Supported by eddie vedder'. We all know that would be 45 mins to 60 mins if he was just supporting. A support act plays less then an hour. 

    i wish i wish i wish i wish, i guess it never stops

    If it would say "opening act/supported by Eddie Vedder WHO WILL PLAY A FULL SET" him being an opening act would be, concerning length of the show, trumped by the "WHO WILL PLAY A FULL FUCKING SET OF SONGS" part.
